Exploring Cereal Metagenomics: Unravelling Microbial Communities for Improved Food Security

Microorganisms, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 12(3), P. 510 - 510

Published: March 2, 2024

Food security is an urgent global challenge, with cereals playing a crucial role in meeting the nutritional requirements of populations worldwide. In recent years, field metagenomics has emerged as powerful tool for studying microbial communities associated cereal crops and their impact on plant health growth. This chapter aims to provide comprehensive overview its enhancing food through exploration beneficial pathogenic interactions. Furthermore, we will examine how integration other tools can effectively address adverse effects security. For this purpose, discuss metagenomic data machine learning providing novel insights into dynamic interactions shaping plant-microbe relationships. We also shed light potential applications leveraging diversity epigenetic modifications improving crop resilience yield sustainability. Ultimately, revolutionized by harnessing between microbiota, paving way sustainable agricultural practices.

Current Advances in the Functional Diversity and Mechanisms Underlying Endophyte–Plant Interactions

Microorganisms, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 12(4), P. 779 - 779

Published: April 11, 2024

Plant phenotype is a complex entity largely controlled by the genotype and various environmental factors. Importantly, co-evolution has allowed plants to coexist with biotic factors in their surroundings. Recently, plant endophytes as an external phenotype, forming part of plethora microbial assemblage, have gained immense attention from scientists. Functionally, impact many ways, including increasing nutrient availability, enhancing ability cope both abiotic stress, accumulation important secondary metabolites. The current state research been devoted evaluating phenotypic impacts on host plants, direct influence metabolite stress response. However, there knowledge gap how genetic interaction pathogens, other communities, eventually controlling extended phenotype. This review will summarize can abundance functional diversity endophytic community, gene expression, host–endophyte–pathogen disease triangle. information provide novel insights into breeders could specifically target plant–endophyte for crop improvement.
